Sandy Ridge Apartments sits at 100 Sandy Ridge Apts, Raeford, NC, right near grocery stores and shops, so daily needs are nearby and the community feels both peaceful and convenient, and there's a lively, welcoming atmosphere where seniors stay active. The apartments serve adults aged 55 and older, with independent living and senior apartments for folks who want to live on their own but like some support and community around them, and the place is also part of a bigger network that includes other apartments across North Carolina. The building's got elevators, ramps, and accessible parking, so getting around isn't hard for those who use walkers or wheelchairs, and there's controlled access at the entrance with an electronic keypad system for safety.
Inside, there are 49 units, mostly one- and two-bedrooms, with some studio and three-bedrooms, though exact availability changes, and rent usually falls between $455 and $565 for the main floor plans, all water, sewer, and trash included. The apartments come with large closets, ceiling fans, and an energy-efficient design with Energy Star appliances, which saves money and might make the place feel a bit more comfortable in the heat or cold. Residents can use the on-site laundry, high-speed internet in the computer center, storage options, and washer/dryer connections in some units, and the grounds have several picnic and outdoor seating areas for fresh air or a chat with neighbors.
Sandy Ridge Apartments welcomes pets, and there's parking for residents, plus staff manage full-time and handle 24-hour emergency maintenance, so someone's always around if help's needed. Amenities in the community include a multipurpose room with a kitchenette, community room, and activity director planning art classes, devotional services, trips, and outings-so folks can try new things or join events if they want to, with meal options for guests and a beauty salon on site. Residents can look at floorplans in PDF format, schedule tours, and view images of the community before deciding, and the community has to accept Section 8 vouchers thanks to its Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program status.
The apartments are designed for independent living but offer assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care services, too, with options to tailor care as needs change, though eligibility and waitlists might apply. United Property Management runs the place from Raleigh, and they focus on fair and equal housing, checking each applicant's ID, Social Security, finances, and background before move-in, usually charging a small application fee. Most units go to people earning around 60% of the area's median income, and rent is set to be affordable, often about 30% of a resident's income, which makes it an accessible choice for many seniors who want comfort without added costs. There's no project-based rent subsidy, but as a LIHTC community, Sandy Ridge Apartments helps keep housing within reach for low-income seniors who want to stay independent and connected with their neighbors in Raeford, near plenty of helpful services and a peaceful setting.
